Hello,

I have a question about this topic and an Abwehr officer.

Major Dietrich F. Witzel genannt "Kirn" - a former Brandenburger - was awarded the Knight's Cross as Hauptmann and OC of Frontaufklärungskommando 202 for his actions concerning the Ukranian UPA in 1944.

But was Witzel also a member of the Allgemeine SS like Abwehr officers close to the resistance movement had told it or was this statement only biased due to Witzel's bold reaction in regard to the incidents of the 20th of July 1944 (see the picture)?

20210316_022646.jpg
CIA file Generalmajor a.D. Erwin Lahousen

Explaination:
The Abwehr was relocated at that time to Schloss Solms in Baruth/ Brandenburg.
Naumann is Major and was the deputy head of MilAmtD. He was not replaced shortly after the 20th of July, he had decided to left MilAmt D due to his bad relationship to Otto Skorzeny and joined Fremde Heere Ost (staff officer for Army Group Kurland ) at the end of 1944.

Best regards
Robert

Thank you, Georg! That's the document on which I relied when first producing my list. Phil Nix sent me a photocopy of it 18 years ago, and I lost it in a flood. Very good to see it again here.

Best wishes,

Is it me, or am I missing something about Oberst Hans-Ulrich Rudel being listed as an SS-Mann?

Hello

A new name difficult to clasify: an Orpo member awarded the Knight's Cross while serving with the Wehrmacht ...
R 70-Polen_00198_0096_2.jpg
Source: Invenio R 70-Polen_00198_0096

The name is misspelled, should be Heinrich Schulz, KC on 18.October.1941 as a Gefreiter with 3./Pi.Btl. 161.

Ignacio

Otto Toll
Hauptmann der Reserve

I have found a document which mentioned him as an SS-Hauptsturmführer d.R. (posthum):

According to personnel decree no. 5, SS replacement squadron "Wiking" (code name of 12.SS-PzDiv Hitlerjugend) of February 28, 1945, Tgb.Nr. IIb 152/45 secret:
"With effect from June 1, 1944, the Reichsfuhrer SS accepted Captain Otto Toll, Baustab 27 (code name of SS-PzPiBtl 12), fallen on June 10, 1944, with the rank of SS Hauptsturmfuhrer in the reserve into the Waffen SS".

Gemäß Personal-Verfügung Nr. 5, SS-Ersatzstaffel "Wiking" vom 28.02.1945, Tgb.Nr. IIb 152/45 geheim:
"Der Reichsführer-SS hat mit Wirkung vom 1.6.1944 den Hauptmann Otto Toll, Baustab 27, gefallen am 10.6.1944 mit dem Dienstgrad eines SS-Hauptsturmführer der Reserve in die Waffen-SS übernommen".
